Drop has their very popular and very highly reviewed Sennheiser HD58X headphones on sale for $135. If you are a new customer you can get a $20 coupon when you create a new account to bring these down to $115. I have a pair and they are well worth the money. You will want to use a headphone amp with these to get the most out of them. I use a Schiit Magni with mine.

Compared to the other headphones I own or owned:
Philips SHP-9500 - I've had these headphones the longest and still own a set since they can't be beat for sound stage and makes a great gaming headphone (just attach a V-Moda boompro mic and off you go) but The 58X are the perfect upgrade. The 58X doesn't have the sound stage but they sound so natural and effortless in music reproduction. I now understand when reviewers say that the SHP-9500's sound grainy and thin. Compared to the 58X they are. I'll continue to sing the praises of my beloved SHP-9500's but when it comes to music I keep reaching for my 58X Jubilees.
Grado SR125 - These and the SR80s were my first bigger purchase when it came to headphones and they are treble and detail machines. It seems like as you climb the Grado product line the low end becomes more recessed and the treble becomes more harsh. The 58X is just smooth and relatively neutral (although the bass may be ever so slightly bumped up)
I own(ed) quite a few other headphones but couldn't put them in the same category for proper comparison.
In the end if you want one of the best headphones that doesn't require, but would benefit from, an amp get the 58X Jubilee's. If you have to have the best of the best you may want to spring for the 6XX as it is supposed to have slightly more detail. Just keep in mind you would likely also want to invest in an amp to make the best use of the 6XX which will likely run another $100 or more.
That's my two cents. I hope it helps someone.
1.) HD 58X has more sub bass and liveliness in the upper mids, while the HD 6XX has more of a dry, neutral sound.
For new enthusiasts, this is more of the signature they expect, and it will still be a big upgrade from most off-the-shelf headphones, computer speakers, and TV speakers.
2.) The HD 58X is easier to drive well.
Both headphones usually get "loud enough," but without including a DAC/amp into the HD 6XX's budget (so it's not really a $50 difference, I'd say it's more like a $150 difference so you can also get a good amp), the HD 6XX may actually sound more congested and veiled than the HD 58X straight from a tablet or smartphone.
With that said... once you get the gear that stops holding the HD 650 back, it has the smoother, cleaner, more refined sound that you can listen to for 8 hours and still enjoy it's more subtle but beguiling sound. I have the HD 58X Jubilee, HD 650 (= HD 6XX), and a bunch of other headphones.

This is the famous PDF that mentioned and pictured the foam on the prototype:

Obviously, Sennheiser had to remove this foam, otherwise who'll pay $500 for the HD660s?
If you open Sennheiser cans, you'll realize lower end ones do not have this foam (such as HD58x and HD518), but ALL higher end ones do (such as HD580 and HD600). You may play with different materials, like in the PDF, and get totally different sounds. Ever since I put the foam on, I have no more desire to try more because everything sounds so perfect to me, any little bit more or less may ruin it. I have compared it to HD580, Fidelio L2 and SHP9500S; L2 is very close with even more extended highs, lows and resolution but both 9500 and L2 have instruments more within the head. The foam-added HD58x is just so relaxed but no lack of detail, such kind of sound is hard to achieve.

The Fidelios easily is a superior headphone. And this is from a hardcore Sennheiser fanboy who owns the HD800s.

Compare 58X to ATH-M50, I don't hear major differences:
1. Because the cups cover my ears better than M50, I hear less noise from outside.
2. The sound it richer, M50 sounds a bit thin, but it is still very clear.
3. Bass sounds better, which might due to the reason 1.
4. Build quality is on par with M50, maybe slightly less. M50 lasts 10 years, so experience > expectation.
I don't have amp, I only have sound Claro Halo sound card. I also used it with my iphone xmax. With maximum volume, it's good enough to enjoy the music. So that's a huge plus.

The 58X is a $150 headphone driver in a fancy shell sold for $150.
The 58x lack top end clarity like most Sennheiser's but the the 6XX is a little less veiled. The mids are flat out better on the 6XX and the bass is cleaner as well.
